Consultation process
Wiltshire’s third Local Transport Plan was developed in consultation with local councils, community groups and other stakeholders. The County’s Freight Strategy was developed with key transport stakeholders including the Police, the Freight Transport Association, the Road Haulage Association, and the Campaign for Better Transport. The FAPM was developed in conjunction with Wiltshire’s Freight Quality Partnership, which includes the above stakeholders, as well as Swindon Borough Council.
The freight requests have all originated from the local communities and each one is supported by some or all of the local councils through which the routes run. Each freight request has been considered by the relevant CATG with each one putting forward their top two freight priorities for assessment.
